Its the driver...aaron sucks.

Who were you racing, Aaron?

get rid of that BOV, your car runs like **** with it on, I was driving your car and the idle dropped down to near 0 then went back up, it even stalled out once with the clutch fully depressed...

I am still all stock but would like to drive another wrx that is stock or go head to head with one. =)
Go to Infineon (Sears Point) or Sacramento Raceway to their Wednesday night drags to test your car in a straight line. Get a time slip because street racing proves nothing. We want to see all of the numbers. Hopefully Alex will re-implement the time slip section to cut through the speculation and b-s from so-called 'racing' stories.

You have to type them in manually. I.e. = : and ) with no space and = ; and ) and so on. More comlex ones like or : rolleyes : with no spaces can be seen by clicking the "smilies are on" link at the bottom of the page in the "Posting Rules" box.

I dunno what it means, all I know is that his car ran ok with the stock bov and runs like **** with the TXS....Davon said he had the same problem when he ran yours on his car as well...

the turbo XS RFL bov needs to be adjusted with washers if it "stalls" while the clutch is fully pressed. The best way to check if it's leaking is let the car idle, open the hood, and place your hand on the bov and see if any air is blowing out. That can be fixed, just need the washers. Reason is that the spring isn't stiff enough @ idle so air is capable of escaping so that's why it stalled.


Yes the rfl, i really didn't like it, but now even with a hks, its not all that great. Stock bypass is the way to go.

so basically the only "power" mod that the black wrx has is the catback, whereas the blue wrx is stock. There won't be much of a walk or a pull from the black wrx anyways. Maybe the black wrx had extra passengers as well.
